The hole in the system, though, is fixed-rate loans over the long term, and the ability to refinance relatively-cheaply. If you buy a house when rates and inflation are low, then over the life of the loan you'll win on inflation. All you have to do is hang on to that low-interest loan. If you happen to buy when rates are high, then you refinance the next time they're low and hold that loan. It's the ability to (worst-case, "eventually") lock in a low rate for decades that lets you win from inflation in the long term. There are a lot of people that were holding onto real estate loans at ~2-4% throughout the pandemic monetary+housing inflation cycle that made out very well. They didn't have to predict it or time it, they just grabbed a low-rate loan some time back whenever they could, and then waited for the inevitable to eventually happen.
And a lot of it is all open source!

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but when I benchmark code, my goal is to compare two implementations of the same function and see which is faster. This article seems to be concerned with finding some absolute metric of performance, but to me that isn't what benchmarking is for. Performance will vary based on hardware and runtime which often aren't in your control. The limitations described in this article are interesting notes, but I don't see how they would stop me from getting a reasonable assessment of which implementation is faster for a single benchmark.

No, it doesn't mean that, it's just posts that are likely to result in a generic discussion about Rye rather than the specific thing being posted are probably going to get moderated as qdupey. Hypothetical example: added some feature and posted the documentation link to it - good chance of qdupery. Blog post discussing something you implemented, a specific problem you encountered and solved (or didn't) in the process, maybe some design you are mulling - probably seen as less of a followup. Posting your stuff + some indication you're around to discuss it - typically also reduces followupness. You can also just email hn@ycombinator.com and ask the mods.

The whole thing is relatively woolly/porous, the goal is to avoid obvious repetition, not to lock you out of posting about your work on HN.

The Breachies 2024: The Worst, Weirdest, Most Impactful Data Breaches of 2024
WAIT ... Hole up... what have we here:
https://www.nccn.org/compendia-templates/compendia/nccn-comp...

TLDR: The NCCN surely has a clean pretty database of these algorithms. They output these junky pdfs for free. Want cleaner "templates" data? Pay the toll please.

What we have here is a walled garden. Want the treatment algorithm? Here muck through this huge disaster of 999 page pdfs. Oh you want the underlying data? Well, well, it's going to cost you.

What we have here is not so much different than the paywalls of an academic journal. Some company running a core service to an altruistic industry and skimming a price. OP is just writing an algorithm to unskim it. And nobody can really use it without making the thing bulletproof lest a physician mistreat a cancer.

To my sentiment this is yet another unethical topic in healthcare. These clunky algorithms, if a physician uses them, slows the process and introduces a potential source of error, ultimately harming patients. Harming patients for increased revenue. The physicians writing and maintaining the guidelines look the other way given they get a paycheck off it, plus the prestige of it all, similar to some scenarios in medicine itself.

The natural thing to do is crack open the database and let algorithms utilize it. This whole thing of dumping data in an obstruse and machine-challenging format, then a rube goldberg machine to reverse the transformation, it's not right.

Anyway I mention this because there seems to be a thought of "these pdfs are messy lets clean them" without looking at what's really going on here.
The real question is: why is everything stuck in PDFs, and the more important meta-question is: why don't PDFs support meta-data (they do, somewhat). So much of what we do is essentially machine-to-machine, but trapped in a format designed entirely for human-to-human (also lump in a bit of machine-to-human).

Adobe has had literally a third of a century to recognize this need and address it. I don't think they're paying attention :-/

It's not just *software* engineers --- it's STEM in general. And they don't necessarily "quit" by choice.

In my experience, the half-life of a STEM career is about 10 years --- if you're lucky enough to actually start a STEM career.

The stats I've seen say that only about half of new STEM graduates ever obtain a job doing STEM. And it doesn't get better with age.

As someone who started programming on Solaris UNIX, then Linux workstations, in the late 90s, there just wasn't an option. You used vi or emacs or you didn't work.

I'm not saying it was the good old days but it was not a significant barrier to doing what we wanted to do. Code is code and ultimately you need to have a clear mental picture of the codebase, regardless of your tools. LSP isn't valuable because it allows novel functionality (there are dozens of different techniques for discovery within a codebase). LSP is valuable because you have an efficient way to "query" your codebase for contextual information directly in the editor window.

But you can build that knowledge through other means, you just need another terminal window and external tools.

The understanding of the codebase is what maters. LSP is a means to that end, making an already common task slightly more efficient.

> look up the definition/implementation of some function

Text is effective. git grep "def foo"

Autocomplete engines work on text too, based on the contexts of the buffer or files in the directory.

Static analyzers have always worked wonders in identifying LSP-like warnings.

Compilers and debuggers give you access to state and type information.

This stuff has been around for decades. LSP just makes it more convenient and packages it into one UI.

For what it's worth, I'm 100% in on LSPs for my work these days. But if LSPs disappeared tomorrow, I could revert to the old ways with only a small hit to productivity.

Well, the issue is that micro benchmarking in JS is borderline useless.

You can have some function that iterates over something and benchmark two different implementations and draw conclusions that one is better than the other.

Then, in real world, when it's in the context of some other code, you just can't draw conclusions because different engines will optimize the very same paths differently in different contexts.

Also, your micro benchmark may tell you that A is faster than B...when it's a hot function that has been optimized due to being used frequently. But then you find that B which is used only few times and doesn't get optimized will run faster by default.

It is really not easy nor obvious to benchmark different implementations. Let alone the fact that you have differences across engines, browsers, devices and OSs (which will use different OS calls and compiler behaviors).

I remember reading that his memory is unrivaled - so this also isn't a strategy the other top players could simply copy.

In chess, there are basically three ways to evaluate moves

1) pure calculation

2) recognize the position (or a very similar one) from a previous game, and remember what the best move was

3) intuition - this one is harder to explain but, I think of it like instinct/muscle memory

All the top players are good at all of these things. But some are agreed upon as much better than others. Magnus is widely agreed to have the best memory. The contender for best calculator might be Fabiano.

In humans, all else being equal, memory seems to be superior to calculation, because calculation takes time.

Chess engines seem to reverse this, with calculation being better than memory, because memory is expensive.
Alright, this one is pretty interesting but, as usual, it needs some amount of background to appreciate it properly. Let me try to make an elementary summary.

Electrons in a crystal are partially governed by a "quantum metric" on the "Brillouin zone manifold" [1]. Metric tensors on manifolds famously appear in general relativity, and are a central object in differential geometry (hence the accurate moniker "quantum geometry"). "Quantum geometry" is a hot topic in condensed matter physics in the last few years, and governs or is connected to many important quantities. For instance, the integral of the quantum metric is proportional to the conductivity (in the disorder-free regime) [2]. This paper makes a more-or-less direct measurement of the quantum metric in the material CoSn.

>> To make the comparison as meaningful as possible, groups of humans were in some cases instructed to avoid communicating through speaking or gestures, even wearing surgical masks and sunglasses to conceal their mouths and eyes. In addition, human participants were told to hold the load only by the handles that simulated the way in which it is held by ants. The handles contained meters that measured the pulling force applied by each person throughout the attempt.

The scientists proved that humans who can't communicate or use their limbs effectively, can't cooperate effectively.

Are you serious? A MITM here cannot sign things with your private key. People who care can add the keypub’s fingerprint before connecting. Adding an sshfp record is completely trivial too. There is no more tofu here than any other ssh connection and the solution is the same. And the added advantage of a PKI means, in a properly designed system, a threat actor can’t do anything useful sitting on the wire. I’m not saying ssh apps are going to take off, just that your reaction is quite hyperbolic.

That depends on the video, too.

There's a bunch of different codecs in use with YouTube videos. Some of them are more intense than others to decode.

It'd be nice if it was a user preference on YouTube, wherein: A user could say "VP9? Lol, no -- there's no way that's gonna work. How about h.264? I know I can play that."

But it's really not that way even though it should be. Instead, we get a vaguely-meaningless way to coarsely change resolutions and codecs are selected by the man behind the curtain.

This problem is something that can be an issue even on x86 systems that otherwise performs very well for other every-day tasks.
I don't think I see them as a win, but they're easily dealt with. AI will need analysts at the latter stage to evaluate the outputs but that will be a relatively short-lived problem.
